And why?

I like bottlebrush (Callistemon), they've got a funny shape and they attract a lot of nectar eaters so they're fun for critter watching. The yellow ones look like a corn cob too eheheheh.

Look at these eastern pygmy possums having a nibble. Probably weren't expecting to be interrupted mid-snack.

    I like irises too. I have some from my grandmothers garden from before she moved on. The only problem is that they really go to town and kinda take over. Good problems though.

    They are the most overtly sexual flower in the garden I look after. Every time I see bees going in there it's like oh fuck yeah I'm pollinating.

      I only started planting them about 3 years ago and I'm already ripping out rhizomes annually. I will eventually be replacing them with natives but they are such an easy, pretty plant, and the foliage stays nice all the way until frost.
